Definitions
- This application relates generally to the field of lighting. More particularly, this application relates to the technology of high power light emitting diode (LED) lighting units, e.g., providing approximately 9,000 lumens of total illumination at 150 watts power dissipation, and, in particular, to a higher power LED lighting unit for indoor and outdoor lighting functions, such as architectural lighting, having a dynamically programmable single or multiple color array of high power LEDs and improved heat dissipation characteristics.
- LED light emitting diode
- high powered LEDs having light outputs on the order of, for example, 70 to 80 lumens per watt, so that lighting units including arrays of high powered LEDs have proven practical and suitable for high powered indoor and outdoor lighting functions, such as architectural lighting.
- Such high powered LED array lighting units have proven advantageous over traditional and conventional lighting device by providing comparable illumination level outputs at significantly lower power consumption.
- Lighting units including arrays of higher powered LEDs are further advantageous in providing simple and flexible control of the color or color temperature of the lighting units. That is, and for example, high powered LED lighting units may include arrays of selected combinations of red, green and blue LEDs and white LEDs having different color temperatures. The color or color temperature output, of such an LED array, may then be controlled by dimming control of the LEDs of the array so that the relative illumination level outputs, of the individual LEDs in the array, combine to provide the desired color or color temperature for the lighting unit output.
- a recurring problem with such higher powered LED array lighting units is the heat generated by such high powered LED arrays, which often adversely effects the power and control circuitry of the lighting units and the junction temperatures of the LEDs, resulting in shortened use life and an increased failure rate of one or more of the power and control circuitry and the LEDs.
- This problem is compounded by the heat generated by, for example, the LED array power circuitry and is particularly compounded by the desire for LED lighting units that are compact and of esthetically pleasing appearance as such considerations often result in units having poor heat transfer and dissipation characteristics with consequently high interior temperatures and “hot spots” or “hot pockets.”
- the present invention provides a solution to these and related problems of the prior art.
- An object of the present invention is to provide a higher power LED lighting unit approaching about 9,000 lumens of total illumination at 150 watts power dissipation.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide an improved heat transfer element, which further improves the conduction of heat, generated by the LEDs and through and out of the LED lighting unit so that the LED lighting unit operates at a cooler temperature and thereby reduces the possibility or likelihood that the generated heat from the LEDS will adversely affect the power supply and/or the associated electronic circuitry.
- a further object of the present invention is to provide a centrally located chimney, formed in at least one of a rear surface of the power supply housing, and a front surface of the LED array housing, which directly communicates with the air flowing into and through the heat transfer element and thereby facilitates improved convection airflow into and out of the LED lighting unit, which provides a more efficient cooling of the LED lighting unit and thereby increases the durability of the LED lighting unit incorporating the same.
- Yet another object of the present invention is to provide the chimney with a reduced area throat section as well as a suitable cross sectional airflow area which avoids restricting pass natural convention flow of air into and through the chimney and thereby improves the overall cooling of the LED lighting unit and, in turn, the LEDs and the internal components accommodated within the LED lighting unit.
- the present invention is directed to a lighting unit including a thermally conductive array housing and having an array of LEDs and LED control circuits mounted on a first surface of a printed circuit board, and a heat transfer element located on a second surface of the printed circuit board and forming a thermally conducting path between the array of LEDs and a rear side of the LED array housing, and a power supply housing spaced apart from the read side of the LED array housing and including a power supply.

- the LED array may include a selected combination of high powered LEDs selected from among at least one of red LEDs, green LEDs, blue LEDs and white LEDs of various color temperatures and the control circuits may include dimming circuits to control a light spectrum and illumination level output of the array of LED by controlling the power levels delivered to the diodes of the LED array.

- each of the individual LEDs 30 of the LED array 28 is mounted on a front surface 36 of a printed circuit board 38 (see generally FIGS. 1A , 2 A and 3 A) that sized and shaped to be accommodated and mounted within the interior compartment 40 defined by the LED array housing 12 , i.e., in close abutting and intimate contact with the bottom surface 26 of the LED array housing 12 to facilitate heat transfer thereto.
- the LEDs 30 include any desired and selected combination of high powered LEDs, such as red, green, blue or white LEDs of various color temperatures, such as 2,700K, 3,000K and/or 4,000K white light LEDs, depending upon the desired output spectrum or spectrums of the LED lighting unit 10 .
- the LED array 28 includes three separate groups, channels or arrays each including a total of 36 LEDs.
- the 36 LEDs of each separate group, channel or array are arranged in a 6 ⁇ 6 LED array 42 generally in the shape of a diamond.

- LED output colors e.g., such as red, blue, green, amber, cyan, royal blue, yellow, warm white and cool white
- the color or the color temperature output of the LED array 28 may include any desired color combination of LEDs 30 and may be controlled by a dimmer control for the LEDs 30 , forming the LED array 28 , so that the relative illumination level output of, the individual LEDs 30 in the array, combine to provide the desired color or color temperature for the lighting unit output.
- the dimming control of the individual LEDs 30 can be provided by one or more control circuits 44 , which are controlled by signals transmitted to each LED lighting unit 10 through the control/power cable 18 according to industry standard protocols, such as and for example, the industry standard DMX512 protocol, the DALI protocol, the digital signal interface (DSI), or the remote device management (RDM) protocol.
- control circuits 44 can be integrated, for example, in the one or more circuit boards 38 of the LED array assembly 13 .
- the control circuits 44 for the LEDs 30 of the LED array 28 are mounted on the front surface 36 of the circuit board 38 and are generally disposed circumferentially about the LED array 28 .
- the control leads (not shown), which connect the control outputs of the control circuits 44 to the individual LEDs 30 can also be formed on the front surface 36 of the printed circuit board 38 .
- the power leads (not shown), which connect the power output of the power supply 34 in power supply housing 14 to the control circuits 44 and the LEDs 30 are also coupled to the front surface 36 of the printed circuit board 38 for suitable powering of the various that the LEDs 30 .
- the rear surface 26 of the LED array housing 12 generally includes a thermally conductive heat transfer element 50 .
- a rear surface 52 of the printed circuit board 38 is generally provided in intimate contact with the heat transfer element 50 so as to facilitate conduction of the heat, generated by the LEDs 30 , from the circuit board 38 and into the heat transfer element 50 for subsequent transferred to surrounding air, as will be discussed below in further detail.
- the printed circuit board 38 supporting the LED array 28 , generally absorbs, transfers and/or otherwise carries away the heat which is generated by the LEDs 30 . Accordingly, in such embodiments it is important that the rear surface 52 of the printed circuit board 38 be in thermally conductive contact with the adjacent surface of the heat transfer element 50 .
- the heat transfer element 50 is preferably manufactured from a thermally conductive material, such as aluminum or similar material or metal which readily conducts heat.
- a thermally conductive material such as aluminum or similar material or metal which readily conducts heat.
- the LED array housing 12 is mounted to the power supply housing 14 via three or more perimeter support posts 54 , e.g., typically between three and eight and preferably about 4 to 6 support posts 54 , that extend between and interconnect the LED array housing 12 with the power supply housing 14 .
- Each support post 54 of the example embodiment has a threaded recess, in a free remote end thereof, while the power supply housing 14 as a mating aperture, which permits a conventional threaded fastener to pass through the mating aperture to threadedly engage the threaded recess of the support post 54 , thereby fixedly connecting the two housings to one another.
- the support posts 54 are spaced about the periphery of the heat transfer element 50 so as not to hinder, as will be discussed below in further detail, the airflow through and along the heat transfer element 50 .
- support posts 54 generally mechanically connect and secure the LED array housing 12 to the power supply housing 14 while also preventing the direct conduction of heat from the LED array housing 12 to the power supply housing 14 , or vice versa. That is, the support posts 54 of the LED lighting unit 10 are designed to minimize the transfer of heat from the LED array housing 12 to the power supply housing 14 . Accordingly, the support posts 54 include one or more conventional thermally isolating elements or components, for example, and/or may have a reduced diameter end which minimizes the heat transfer capacity along the support post 54 to the power supply housing 14 . Minimum lengths of the one or more support posts 54 are generally sufficient to maintain at least some degree of physical separation between the LED array housing 12 and the power supply housing 14 .
- a cable conduit 56 also extends between the LED array housing 12 and the power supply housing 14 .
- Such a cable conduit 56 generally includes a hollow internal passage, which facilitates the passage of associated leads or electrical wires between the power supply 34 and/or the control circuitry of LED array 28 .
- the rear surface 26 of the LED array housing 12 is provided with multiple generally parallel extending heat dissipation elements 60 , e.g., generally twelve spaced apart elongate members or ridges, which project into an airflow space 62 formed between the rear surface 26 of the LED array housing 12 and the front surface 58 of the power supply housing 14 .
- heat dissipation elements 60 e.g., generally twelve spaced apart elongate members or ridges
- the two outer most heat dissipation elements 60 are both continuous and extend generally parallel to one another, from one lateral side to the opposite lateral side of the LED lighting unit 10 , while the inner heat dissipation elements 60 , located therebetween, are each discontinuous and generally extend radially inward and toward a central axis A of the LED lighting unit 10 which extends normal to the rear surface 26 of the LED array housing 12 .
- Such arrangement of the inner heat dissipation elements 60 has a tendency of channeling and/or directing air radially inwardly and toward the central region of the airflow space 62 , i.e., toward the central axis A, between the rear surface 26 of the LED array housing 12 and the front surface 58 of the power supply housing 14 .
- Each of the heat dissipation elements 60 of the illustrative example generally has the shape of a rectangular member or ridge, which extends radially inward into and provides access to the airflow space 62 .
- Each generally rectangular shaped heat dissipation element 60 is thickest at its base where it is integrally connected with the rear surface 26 of the LED array housing 12 but becomes gradually thinner as the heat dissipation element 60 projects away from the base, extending upwards toward the power supply housing 14 . It is to be appreciated that the heat dissipation elements 60 generally do not contact, but are each spaced from, the front surface 58 of the power supply housing 14 so as to avoid transferring or conducting heat thereto.
- the exposed peripheral edges of the heat dissipation elements 60 are generally smooth and/or rounded so as to allow the air to flow around and by those edges without causing undue turbulence to the air which, in turn, assists with increasing the airflow through the airflow space 62 and dissipation or removal of heat from heat dissipation elements 60 of the heat transfer element 50 .
- the heat dissipation elements 60 each generally extend from the rear surface 26 of the LED array housing 12 and toward the front surface 58 of the power supply housing 14 but are slightly spaced from the front surface 58 of the power supply housing 14 , e.g., are spaced therefrom by a distance of about 0.25 inches or less, thereby forming a thermal isolation gap which thermally isolates the LED array housing 12 from the power supply housing 14 and significantly reduces the direct transfer of heat from the LED array housing 12 , supporting the electrically powered LED array 28 , to the power supply housing 14 containing the power supply 34 .
- thermal conductivity between the heat dissipation elements 60 and the power supply housing 14 may also be reduced while allowing the heat dissipation elements 60 to be in contact with the power supply housing 14 by, for example, minimizing the surface contact area between each heat dissipation element 60 and the power supply housing 14 or by interposing a thermal isolation element, such as a thermally non-conductive spacer, between the leading edge of each heat dissipation element 60 and front surface 58 of the power supply housing 14 .
- a thermal isolation element such as a thermally non-conductive spacer
- the heat dissipation elements 60 , the rear surface 26 of the LED array housing 12 and the adjacent front surface 58 of the power supply housing 14 together form multiple convective inlet passages 66 which allow inlet of convective airflow into the airflow space 62 , which can remove heat from by the heat dissipation elements 60 during operation of the LED lighting unit 10 , as will be discussed below.
- the effectiveness and efficiency of this convective heat transfer is, as is well understood by those of skill in the relevant art, a function of the interior dimensions, the lengths and the number of convective circulation passages 66 , as well as the surface characteristics of the heat dissipation elements 60 , the rear surface 26 of the LED array housing 12 and the front surface 58 of the power supply housing 14 .
- the interior dimensions and the lengths and the characteristics of the interior surfaces of the convective inlet passages 66 as well as the shape or contour of the airflow space 62 determines the type, the velocity and the volume of the convective airflow that is allowed to flow into the convective inlet passages 66 .
- This example embodiment generally defines a total of 22 convective inlet passages 66 with 11 convective inlet passages 66 being located along each oppose lateral side of the LED lighting unit 10 . That is, each convective inlet passage 66 is generally defined by a pair of adjacent heat dissipation elements 60 located on either side thereof as well as the rear surface 26 of the LED array housing 12 and the front surface 58 of the power supply housing 14 .
- each heat dissipation passage 66 generally has a width of between approximately 0.3 to 1.5 inches preferable about 0.75 inches, a height of between approximately 1.0 to 2.0 inches preferable about 1.5 inches, and a length ranging between approximately 1.0 to 4.5 inches preferable about 3.25 inches or so, depending upon the location of the passage 66 .
- the heat dissipation elements 60 thereby provide a desired heat dissipation area for dissipating heat generated by the LED array 28 and transferred to the rear surface 26 of the LED array housing 12 while the non-conductive thermal isolation gaps 64 , between the remote free ends of the heat dissipation elements 60 and the front surface 58 of the power supply housing 14 , significantly reduce the transfer of any heat directly from the LED array housing 12 to the power supply housing 14 and thereby significantly reducing adverse mutual heating effects of the LED array 28 to the power supply 34 .
- the rear surface 26 of the LED array housing 12 also accommodates multiple spaced apart generally cylindrical or conical pins 68 in addition to the generally rectangular shaped heat dissipation elements 60 .
- the rear surface 26 accommodates typically between 20 and 500 pins, more preferably between 100 and 300 pins, preferably about 206 pins (see FIG. 4 ), which extend generally normal to the rear surface 26 of the LED array housing 12 .
- Each one of these cylindrical or conical pins 68 is generally uniformly spaced from each adjacent pin 68 and cooperates with the heat dissipation elements 60 to maximize a random convection airflow through the airflow space 62 as well as heat transfer from the cylindrical or conical pins 68 to the air so as to maximize cooling of the LED lighting unit 10 .
- each pin 68 is generally cylindrical in shape and has a diameter of between approximately 0.3 to 0.65 inches preferable about 0.35 inches and a height of between approximately 0.6 to 1.75 inches, preferable between about 0.9 and 1.5 inches. It is to be appreciated that the somewhat thinner pins 68 tend to provide more efficient transfer of the heat from the LED array housing 12 to the air than thicker pins 68 which tend to be less efficient.
- Each of the heat dissipation elements 60 has an approximate height of between approximately 0.6 to 1.75 inches, preferable between about 0.9 and 1.5 inches, measured relative to the rear surface 26 of the LED array housing 12 , a width or thickness of approximately 0.25 to 0.45 inches, preferably about 0.4 inches, of an inch tapering or narrowing in a direction away from the rear surface 26 , for example, with the taper being approximately 6°, and a length ranging from about 2 to 10 inches, depending upon their location across the diameter of the LED array housing 12 , and may be spaced apart by a distance on the order of 1.0 to 1.5, preferably about 1.35 inches or so. As generally shown in FIG.
- the rear wall of the LED housing 12 may be domed or otherwise crowned so as to be located slightly closer to the front surface of the power source housing 14 , i.e., decrease the height of the airflow space, and this configuration facilitates accelerating of the air as the air flows through the airflow space 62 .
- the chimney 70 which is formed in and extends through the power supply housing 14 .
- the chimney 70 extends from the front surface 58 of the power supply housing 14 to the rear surface of the power supply housing 14 and thus forms a through opening 72 through a central region of the power supply housing 14 .
- the chimney 70 includes first and second conically shaped sections 74 , 76 which join with one another at a generally narrower throat section 78 .
- each one of the first and second conically shaped sections 74 , 76 generally has a wider diameter at either the front surface 58 (e.g., having a diameter of between 1.0 inches to 2.5 inches, preferably about 2.12 inches) or the rear surface of the power supply housing 14 (e.g., having a diameter of between 1.0 inches to 2.5 inches, preferably about 1.94 inches) and a narrower diameter at the throat section 78 (e.g., having a diameter of between 0.75 inches to 1.5 inches, preferably about 1.0 to 1.2 inches).
- the chimney 70 is generally concentric with the central axis A of the LED lighting unit 10 as such positioning generally improves the airflow into and through the LED lighting unit 10 .
- a central region of the heat transfer element 50 includes three arcuate walls 80 to assist with directing airflow into the chimney. These three arcuate walls 80 generally are arranged in an interrupted circle and are generally concentric with both the longitudinal axis A and the chimney 70 .
- Six centrally located pins 68 are located within a region defined by the three arcuate walls 80 and these six pins 68 are generally separated from the remaining pins 68 by the three arcuate walls 80 . These six centrally located pins 68 are in intimate communication with air for such air is directed into the chimney 70 .
- the LEDs 30 During operation of the LED lighting unit 10 , the LEDs 30 generate heat which is conducted to and through the printed circuit board 38 and into the rear surface 26 of the LED array housing 12 .
- the heat transfer element 50 absorbs heat, ambient air naturally begins to flow into and through each one of the convective inlet passages 66 and into the airflow space 62 located between the rear surface 26 of the LED array housing 12 and the front surface 58 of the power supply housing 14 .
- this ambient air flows in through each one of the convective inlet passages 66 from a peripheral space between the rear surface 26 of the LED array housing 12 and the front surface 58 of the power supply housing 14 , the air generally directed radially inwardly toward the central axis A of the LED lighting unit 10 .
- the air contacts with the exterior surface of the rectangular heat dissipation elements 60 and the heat is readily transferred from the rectangular heat dissipation element 60 to the air.
- Such heat transfer in effect cools the rectangular heat dissipation element 60 so that such elements may in turn conduct additional heat away from the LEDs 30 .
- the air continues to flow radially inward, the air contacts one or more of the pins 68 and, as a result of such contact, additional heat is transferred from the pins 68 to the air which further increases the temperature of the air while simultaneously cooling the pins 68 .
- the heated air generally reaches the central axis A, the heated air communicates with the three accurate walls and the six centrally located pins 68 before flowing into the chimney 70 and thus flowing axially along the central axis A and through the chimney 70 and out through the rear surface of the power supply housing 14 .
- This airflow pattern, from the convective inlet passages 66 through the airflow space 62 and out through the chimney 70 maximizes convection airflow through the LED lighting unit 10 and thus achieves maximum cooling of the LED lighting unit 10 .
- heat is transferred from the exterior surface of the rectangular heat dissipation elements 60 to air located within the airflow space 62 , between the LED array housing 12 and the power supply housing 14 .
- Such heating of air within the airflow space 62 reduces its density, also increasing its buoyancy.
- the heated air being more buoyant naturally rises.
- the power supply housing 14 is located above the LED array housing 12 , as would be for downward directed illumination, the rising heated air encounters the front surface 58 of the power supply housing 14 .
- a chimney 70 At least a portion of the heated air is directed upward through the chimney 70 , exiting the LED lighting unit 10 .
- the average temperature readings for four (4) different locations of the LED lighting unit 10 are shown.
- the average temperature for the rear surface of the LED lighting unit 10 is typically about 96.0° C.
- the average temperature at the outer edge of one of the rectangular heat dissipation element 60 of the LED lighting unit 10 is typically about 102.3° C.
- the average temperature for the front surface 36 of the circuit board of the LED lighting unit 10 is typically about 80.7° C.
- the average temperature for the outer circumference edge of the front surface 24 of the LED array housing 12 is typically about 98.4° C. It is to be appreciated that this arrangement generally provides particularly efficient cooling of the LEDs 30 as well as the internal circuitry of the LED lighting unit 10 .

- Each one of the heat dissipation elements 60 ′ generally extends parallel to one another from one lateral side to the opposite lateral side.

- This elongate channel 82 extends normal to each one of the heat dissipation elements 60 ′ and is coincident with a diameter of the LED lighting unit 10 which is also coincident with the central axis A of the LED lighting unit 10 .
- Such arrangement of the heat dissipation elements 60 ′ has a tendency of directing air radially inwardly and toward the elongate channel 82 where the air can then be directed radially outwardly along the elongate channel 82 , i.e., in both directions along the elongate channel 82 away from the central axis A, and thus out of the airflow space 62 ′ defined between the rear surface 26 ′ of the LED array housing 12 ′ and the front surface 58 of the power supply housing 14 .
